Syllabus and Schedule
Information and Announcements
- Quick Start Guide for WebAssign.
Our class key this semester is 8442 7556; the institution code is holycross (all lower case, no space)
- Class will move online starting Monday, March 23 due to COVID-19-related closure
of the residential campus.
- Link for our first online class meeting on March 23.
Watch for additional email from me about how this will work.
- For the remainder of the semester, to make managing information simpler, I will be posting all course materials and annoucements in Moodle. This page will probably not be updated very often.
- Course schedule will be adjusted accordingly.
- Some data and information about the COVID-19
outbreak and the Holy Cross decision. No one is happy about this, of course. But I
for one am convinced that the college closures are absolutely necessary.
